Mentorship Program (Rising Seniors Only)
Love writing but need professional guidance and tutelage to help develop your voice? Apply to the 2025 Daphne 3-week Online Mentorship Program! We will select 12-15 dedicated students to work one-on-one with caring, accomplished professional writers, including The Editor of Daphne Nicholas Sweeney.
Our mentees have benefited greatly over the years. Many have used this time to refine their writing, get published in literary magazines, and win awards such as the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards and PYAA. This mentorship has also helped students gain acceptance into top colleges and renowned creative writing programs.
Recent Daphne mentees have been accepted to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, and prestigious writing programs such as Iowa, Kenyon, Juniper, and Emerson!
